In hereditary cancer, every body cell (somatic + germline) in the person’s body has a mutation in some highly penetrant gene (e.g. BRCA1 or 2). Because we inherit two copies of genes (or alleles) on separate chromosomes from our parents, the second copy usually is normal. But people who have inherited a constitutional germline mutation in tumor suppressor genes are one step closer to cancer than those who haven’t, because they generally follow the Knudson ‘two-hit hypothesis” and need inactivation of a second gene copy for cancer to develop. So, these persons are “one step closer to cancer” and the term hereditary cancer is mostly applied when we know the responsible gene, which Read the rest of this entry »

Eat healthily
Obesity is one of the known risk factors for breast cancer. Thus it makes sense to follow a healthy diet that keeps your weight at a healthy level. Take a look at your diet and watch your fat intake.

During the follow-ups between 1992 and June 2005 were 3898 cases of breast cancer. In the postmenopausal women with the highest quintile of folate-containing diet hit the suspect with a probability of 12 percent. The risk was also tested and not by other nutrients, such as alcohol, changed. Furthermore, no effect trends were seen in the dose. Read the rest of this entry »

Because fat does not equal fat. Trans fat, an artificially produced fat, have been identified in several medical tests and scientific studies as a carcinogenic substance. The results were so clear that several U.S. states have banned the use of trans fats. But saturated fats seem to have a carcinogenic effect when they are fed in high amounts. Despite this, one suspected in unsaturated fats (olive oil) and omega-3 fatty acids (eg fish and canola oil) have a preventive effect. Read the rest of this entry »

Healthy lifestyle can prevent cancer
“Cancer is not always a fate disease,” says DAK doctor Elizabeth Thomas. “Everyone can decide whether he smokes or unprotected hours in the sun roasting. Certain types of cancer can be prevented through healthy lifestyle habits.” Are the major causes of cancer: smoking, increased alcohol consumption, obesity and serious high sun exposure. To prevent disease, according to DAK-driven study 80 percent of Germans regularly eat sport drink, 78 percent less alcohol and 77 percent are healthy. 68 percent say they do not smoke on the health of love.

Breast cancer is not a disease that is restricted only to women. In rare cases it can also cause breast cancer in men.

In about one percent of all breast cancers are cancers of the male breast. In Germany, the annual number of men involved in about 400 It appears this form of cancer primarily on the age of 70 years. Since most men do not naturally expect to develop breast cancer, the tumor is often not discovered until a later stage. This means, however, usually, that the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes were cancerous. Read the rest of this entry »

No form of cancer in childhood occurs as frequently as the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It also comes with a 80 percent share of the most common form of acute leukemia from acute myeloid leukemia (ALM).

Of blood cancer or leukemia is when it braked to a proliferation of white blood cells, white blood cells, occurs. In case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia occurs a degeneration of cells that form otherwise to lymphocytes. When the lymphocytes is a sub form of the leukocytes.
